Say Nothing

Acts on the Advice of
Counsel and Will Abide by
Developments—Proprietor
of General Store in Wilton
falls of Student's Home
life

Ernest H. Hard. the Yale student
who has been enjoinod from having
any communication with Mrs. Lavinia
Pay. the wealthy widow of 62 Dwight
street. New Haven. returned from his
home in Wilton. Conn. and from a vis-
It to Hartford. yesterday.

When seen by a reporter of The l’al-
Indium last evening. Mr. llurd refused
to affirm or deny the story that he had
been married to Mrs. Fey, or that he
ever had proposed marriage. He said
that he was acting under instructions
from his counsel. Seymour C. Loomls.

Ilurd has seen several of the news-
paper accounts of the injunction pro-
ceedings to restrain him froth com-
municating with Mrs. Foy, his bcne-
factress. but will discuss none of the
several stories which have been circli-
lated.

Yesterday. 'I‘he Palladium ran down
a story which was given considerable
credence. Wednesday night. to the ef—
fect that Hard and Mrs. Foy had gone
to Alantlc City and that the latter had
been follchd and brought homo by
relatives. General Harmon, Mrs. Foy's
son. and Mrs. Fey and her nurse went
to Atlantic City. last winter. and stay-
ed there for some time, but during that
entire period Iiurd was attending his
rocitations in college.

Hurd's residence since he left the
Foy home. in Dwight street. has been
at 170 York street. He has a modest,
comfortably furnished room there. and
he boards in the Yale commons. ills
habits are described as thrifty and
economical. and he is liked in his
boarding house. A week after he went
there. he was ill and most of that per-
iod was confined to his bed.

Once or twice be left town to visit
his home in Wilton. 001111.. but had
been lending a quiet uneventful life. so
far as his fellow boarders know. until
the injunction was served on him.

When he returned to town last. even-
ing, Hurd looked tired and Worried.
Smoking to cigarette. be countered Into
:1 Chapel street restaurant and imme
(llately after having lunch went to the
campus. where he started in to study
with two classmates.

R. W. Keeler, the proprietor of the
general store of Wilton, was Interview-
ed by telephone, last evening. by The
Palladium. and spoke as follows con-
cerning Hurd:

“I have known the boy all his life.
and his reputation here is A No. 1. Ills
father died about ten years ago, His
mother has been dead about five or six
years. His father was a mechanic and
a traveling salesman at one time for
Hoyt. the New Canaan nurseryman.
He was an old soldier and had a pen-
sion. When he died he left practically
nothing so far as is known.

“Ernest Hui-d used to play the organ
in the Wilton Congregational church.
before he went to college. He was al-
ways a quiet. unassuming "lad. and the
people here consider him of good. clean
character.

“He was prepared for college In
what was known at that time as
Chase‘s school. in Norwaik. He has
only come home about once in two or
three months. and during the summer
months. since he left for college. We,

' heard here that he was taken up by a
wealthy woman who had assisted him.
and last summer we heard that she
sent him to Europe for the purpose of
completing his musical education and
perfecting his German. He visited
Germany. I understand. We all were
pleased here to learn that he had
found a person of means who had tak-
en an interest in him. We thought
nothing about it and the sentiment
here now is in favor of him.

Mr. Kecler said that Hard had a sis-
ter living. but no other near relative.
She is about 40 years old and unmar»
ried. The house which was left by
their parents is in her name. but she
lives in Bridgeport most: of the time.

 

 

Has Sympathy of Wilton People.
Editor Sentinel: Strong sentiment
and regret is expressed in Wilton. by
the friends and neighbors ofErnest H.
Hard. Since childhood he has lived
among them: ever a quiet, gentleman—
Iy boy; as a young man. studious and
a lover of music. Those who have
known him from childhood know the
quiet. preaccupied air which has al-
ways been a characteristic of his. and
which has recently been called the
stare of the hypnotic. and feel the ab-
surdity of the accusation and bélieve
In his integrity and uprightness of
character.

toms of Rabies

(‘11ch of Police Vollmer advises that
all dogs be. muzzled for a few days If
they show any signs of nervousness or
irritability. as it is believed that there
are several mad dogs in town. One
has already been shot. but it Is believ-
ed that it must have been bitten by
EOIIIO other animal suffering from the
rabies.

it is probable that the selectmon of
the town will take some action in re
gard to muzzllug dogs. as It is not
'ilIUWIl how many may have been bit-
it'll. Several suspicious cases have
been reported to the police and the
condition of the uninnils is being
watched.

The dog which was shot was a fox
terrier belonging to Dr. It. M. Wolfe.
IL was taken several days ago will:
hydrophobic. and developed all the
symptoms in a short time. Chief Voll-
mer was notified and the animal was
put out of the way. The. dog had been
kept tied in the rear yard. anti for—
luuately no one was bitten by it.

Dogs which appear to have hydro-
phobia should be carefully watched tili—
.il it is certain that they are not suff-
t‘cring from some harmless disease. it
case anyone should be bitten by a dog,
the animal should not be killed im-
mediately. but kept so that It may be
learned whether it has rabies or not.
if it has. the Pasteur treatment should
be used.

SAVED BY COUOHING.

 

Great Barington Girl Diclodged 3 Wu-
termelon Seed.

GREAT HARRINGTON. Mass. May
20.——-For ten months in fear of death.
Florence Whiting. aged twelve. yestor‘
day laughed so hard that she is saved,

Last July she swallowed a water-
melon seed. It lodged in her throat
and at a consultation of physicians it
was decided that unless the seed was
dislodged. It would kill her. The X-
ray was used. but the seed could not
be found, and hope for the girl was
abandoned. She was critically ill for
several weeks. but gradually recovered
to the astonishment of the doctors. She
has been weak and sickly and subject
to throat trouble since.

Yesterday when romping with a
playmate Florence laughed so heartily
that she was seized with a fit of cough-
ing. In the midst of It. the water-
melon seed flow from her mouth. It
was as perfect as when she swallowed
it.

Her parents say that the girl was as
well a few hours after ejecting the
seed. as she was before the accident.

Gang Arrested Charged with
the Crime

ALBANY. N. Y.. May 20.-—A large
quantity of magultlceut jewelry. un-
doubtedly taken from tho cotlln of
Lady Mary Livingston, in the recent
mysterious raid upon the Livingston
family tomb. on the Livingston estate
below Hudson. and valued at thous-
ands of dollars. has been found by the

in a low dive on South Lansing street.

Thomas King and others arrested.

refuse to give any place of residence.
had the jewelry upon their person and
concealed about the house.

Some of the jewelry m modern, but
most of it is very old and marked with
the Livingston and De Peyster mono-
gram, or actually with the natures of
women of the. Livingston family.

The arrests were made on complaints
of neighbors of the Lansing street
house. the, gang having been noisy and
drunken. Policemen Ford and Itudc
wore. sent down to bring them in. with
no idea that a charge more. serious than
vagraucy could be made against the
men. It was when King was actirched
that the mine of Wealth appeared.
None of the others had any of it. but
in King's pockets were found a, miscel-
laneoas collection of silverware and
jewelry. some of it modern. but: most
of it beyond question belonging‘to the
old Livingston and De Pays-fer families.

King claims that he found the things
lying beside the railroad track near
Reading. Pa.

The police then aunt‘s. detail to
search the house minutely.

An amazing collection of valuables
was found extending even to the back
yard. where on the ground was scattoiu
ed the fragments of a very beautiful
and valuable mosaic necklace. gold cuff
buttons bearing the initial “L.” gold
studs, pieces of chain and parts of
brcochts, empty settlngs which had
contained precious stones and other
bits of jewelry.

I0 Defend Atwood Suits

 

William 0. James, of Rowayton De.
clros Judgment Agnlnct Him n
Favor of Atwood Ila-Opened.

 

James D. Woodruif. of the thchtlold
law firm of Woodrud‘ & Woodruff, has
been out hustling and yesterday flied
notice with Clerk anlland tn the
Court of Common Pleas, that he would
conduct the defense of seventeen per-
sons. who have been sued by D. Pres-
ton Atwood. He Intends that the wily
Mr. Atwood will have to fight for his
claims. He entered appearances for
the following defendants most of whom
are residents of Litchtleld county:
Samuel Crossman. Url i’. liartholo
mow, Murtie E. Hacbmun. C. 8. Web-
ster. Adolph Kuntz. Arthur Catlin.
Kate O’Grady, James L. Guild. Rob
ert Stevens. Henreltta L. Sterzel. Hou-
ry Gill. George R. Bailey, E. W. Car-
ter. R. L. Rotchford. Emily M. Tuck
ington. Mary Ann Doyle. George H.
Johnson.

Daniel E. McMahon. the Derby nt-
torney. who sent a petition to the
governor asking for a special session
of the legislature to repeal the statute
under which 1). Preston Atwood’s'suits
are brought. has entered his appear-
ance for Edward Dockery.

William G. James, of Rowayaon,
through his counsel. has made a mo-
tion that the judgment against him in
favor of I). Preston Atwood for $240
in the court of Common Pies be re
opened. The matter will be argued
today in the short calendar session
of the court. Judgment was today
given Atwood for failure of James to
comply with an order of the court.

The Atwood suits against nominally
delinquent executors have run up
against such a sentiment that. now
the offer is made by Atwood to settle
for $150 each. One of the best inform-
ed lawyers in the state strongly ad-
vises against any such proceedings.
He says that the suits can all be kept
alive until the next session of the Gen.
cral Assembly, which will come to-
:cther in January and that body can
be relied on to pass promptly some re-
lief measure, which will apply to cases
pending in court and so will let them
all out. He was emphatic that there
wasno need whatever to be scared into
paying anything at all to the Instiga-
tors of litigation which is no universal.
ly condemned.
